ConvergeApp
A single cross-platform system replacing fragmented tools for students, counsellors, and mentors across every stage of the international admissions process.
The challenge
Students pursuing international education must navigate a fragmented process: career assessment, university research, visa documentation, SOP preparation, interview readiness, and resume writing. Each step typically runs through a different tool or intermediary. Counsellors and mentors had no shared workspace to coordinate activity, track student progress, or intervene at critical decision points. The Converge team needed a single platform that connected every participant, for every stage, across web and mobile.

How we approached it
Appetals designed and built a multi-platform application spanning Android, iOS, and web. The architecture served four user types under one system: students, counsellors, mentors, and administrators. Each user type received a role-specific interface within the same operational backbone.
The platform covered nine functional modules:
- Profile and account management covering academic history, test scores, intended field of study, and work experience.
- Appointment booking with calendar integration across Google Calendar and iCal for student-counsellor and student-mentor sessions.
- Dashboard presenting personalised articles, videos, courses, appointments, and task queues at each login.
- Content library with categorised articles, videos, documents, and templates calibrated to each stage of the admissions process.
- Career module including questionnaires, career videos, and a structured process flow for career-path selection.
- Visa application module covering documentation requirements, finance-related content, and a guided chatbox.
- University applications module guiding students through submission requirements and compliance with each institution's application process.
- Interview preparation using mock videos, FAQs, group chat, and counselling sessions.
- SOP and resume modules providing questionnaire-driven drafting, approval workflow, article support, and template-guided resume writing.
Technical scope: JavaScript backend with MySQL, AngularJS web application, native Android application in Java, native iOS application in Swift. Built to serve all four user types on a single shared data layer.
